- - House of the future and team that built it head to international competition
    FutureHAUS Dubai, an innovative, interdisciplinary, and ambitious project to design and build a futuristic, modular smart home, is the lone American team competing against 14 other university teams at the Solar Decathlon Middle East in Dubai.
- - Virginia Tech researchers using brain-inspired methods to improve wireless communications
    The team has suggested a method to train the artificial neural network to operate more efficiently on a transmitter-receiver pair using a framework called reservoir computing.
- - What do drones, augmented reality, and quadditch have in common?
    Virginia Tech received a $1.5 million National Science Foundation grant to study the use of unmanned aircraft systems for inspection of civil infrastructure.
- - Electromagnetics open textbook reduces college costs for undergraduate engineering students
    Electromagnetics Vol. 1, authored by Associate Professor of Engineering Steven Ellingson, has been downloaded over 2,000 times and viewed by readers in more than 40 countries.
- - U.S. Department of Energy awards Virginia Tech an electric vehicle cybersecurity grant
    Electric vehicle systems interact with the physical world and present unique security challenges.
- - Sea urchins may be key to developing lightweight engineered cellular materials
    Studying the sea urchin is part of a $540,000 National Science Foundation grant being investigated by Ling Li.
- - Robert W. Hendricks honored with emeritus status
    A member of the university community since 1986, Hendricks made significant contributions to the understanding of materials that aided other engineers in their work for design and analysis, especially as it related to electronics and corrosion.
- - Virginia Tech receives Department of Defense instrumentation awards
    The awards will enable the university to support research and education in autonomous underwater vehicle, submarine, and ship hydrodynamics.
- - Recent graduate wins Gates Cambridge Scholarship, aims to unlock quantum computing
    Renewable energy. Transportation. Medicine. Instead of pursuing just one of the many fields that he has a passion for, Romain Debroux ’16, MS ’18 wants to make a fundamental impact on all of them though quantum computing — a technology that has the potential to radically transform computing capability.
- - The brain speaks in calcium; Virginia Tech researcher to build computational translator
    While astrocytes are known to protect and support the brain, researchers are still puzzling over what role they play in brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. Guoqiang Yu is working to develop new computational tools to interpret and analyze astrocyte activity data.
- - Vassilis Kekatos receives NSF CAREER award to diagnose today’s power grid with potentially transformative technique
    Kekatos and his team hit upon a technique called grid probing to generate the information needed about what is often called the world’s largest machine.
- - Yang (Cindy) Yi earns NSF CAREER award to build 3D integrated circuits inspired by human brain
    “My dream for this technology is that it will improve the quality of human life,” said Yi. “We want to build chips to model some of the lost or damaged brain functions, allowing people who have suffered some brain injury to reclaim their former lives or move forward to new ones.”
- - FutureHAUS Dubai takes shape at Virginia Tech’s Research + Demonstration Facility
    Led by the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, students from five Virginia Tech colleges will compete as the only U.S. collegiate team in the Solar Decathlon Middle East in Dubai, November 2018. The team now has three months to complete the world’s smartest modular solar home – a prototype they hope will become a global model for housing sustainability.
- - Wei Zhou receives Young Investigator Award to use photons and electrons to peer inside the cell
    Zhou received a Young Investigator Award from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research to develop a nanoscale multimodal transducer — a miniature device that takes advantage of optical and electrical properties at the nanometer level — to monitor and control the biological processes unfolding inside a living cell.
- - Virginia Tech agBOT autonomous watermelon harvester takes top prize
    The Virginia Tech agBOT team clinched first place in the third annual agBOT Challenge at Gerrish Farms in Rockville, Indiana.
- - Virginia Tech team tops in cyber capture-the-flag
    Seven computer engineering students took first place in MITRE’s Embedded Capture-the-Flag contest, which tasked them with designing a secure ATM banking system and then attacking the designs of 10 other universities.
- - Harpreet Dhillon named Steven O. Lane Junior Faculty Fellow of Electrical and Computer Engineering
    A member of the Virginia Tech faculty since 2014, Dhillon has earned a reputation of being a talented researcher, having consistently produced seminal research results that have been extensively cited and utilized by his peers worldwide.
- - Chen-Ching Liu named American Electric Power Professor
